      Hello

      I got a website www.keywordCA.com and I'm ranking #1 spot on "keyword" but what I notice if you have the exact match you get more site links and etc. Like this keyword that match with my domain name "keyword CA"

      The ideal name will be www.keyword.com but is taken and the owner don't want to sell the domain (at least he is not using it, is just parked) and I also got the domain www.keyword.net

      Do you think www.keyword.net will be much better than KeywordCA.com in order to get more exposure and google will generate more site links?

        IMO if you're ranked #1.. why would you fix it?

        I see the point of wanting to have site links for the keyword but if the keyword is competitive you won't see Site Links anyway. Example: from my industry O-rings there is a .com domain but due to the competitiveness of the keyword they don't get site links unless you specifically search for www.orings.com. Google is a bit slow generating site links but they will come if that is what you're after.

          sure if your main keyword it's an exact match with the domain URL , in this point no different if it's .net or .com

          hope that help
